## Means bounds and SD bounds
- TIDES + power + false positives
- Plausibility as well as possibility
## CI bounds vs. estimates
- Estimate in CIs
- Harder test: estimate in middle of CIs. Bounds of the mean given the CIs, i.e., is it in the bounds that define the middle given rounding
## Mean inside range
- Is the reported mean inside the possible range of the measure?
## Metric bounds
- E.g., correlations must be in [-1, 1]
## Correlation matrix positive definiteness
- Checking whether reported correlation tables are positive definite
